Bert Jansch - Birthday Blues (2005) by Bert Jansch (보컬) on maniadb.com

I wish I had a photograph
To let you see the way you smile
Upon my foolish heart

The words I do not know enough
I hope that you will find my song
A pleasing to your ear

You step beneath the midnight moon
To gather dewdrops for the sun
A Waiting until morn

Oh if I was a branched tree
I'd be the oak tree fast and strong
To win your gentle heart

And If I was one grain of corn
I'd wait till you did come along
To throw me to the wind

And if I was one silken thread
Embroidered all in cherry red
Upon your breast I'd lie

And if I was the alder tree
I'd burn it fiercely over thee
Our love would surely last

And if I was the hawthorn bush
And you did shelter under me
I would not do you harm

And if I was one glass of wine
One sip from you would give me time
To take you by the hand

And all across the hills we'd go
In search of what no-one does know
Except for you and I

I once thought I did know all about it
Since the rain falls, the wind blows and the sun shines
Don't you know that your creator is a'running out of ideas?

I know that I might die from poison
Invisible hanging there in the sunlight
And don't you know that your creator is a'running out of ideas?

If I was you I'd be friendly to your neighbour
Be glad that he don't want to be your enemy
For don't you know that your creator is a'running out of ideas?

I don't believe I've seen
a woman like you anywhere.
And I must admit that I can't see
to making you into a dream.
But if I had a magical wonder word,
I'd send a dove to catch your love
and I send a blackbird to steal your heart.

But a broken heart won't go,
my endless search, little girl,
I gonna fix a magic(al) spell
to weave on you, little girl.
I'll fall along that you catch the wind
upon the orange to sweetest sin
before this very moment evil in.

I'd rather wait at the dark
of thousand times, little girl,
and take the woman until
the heart of my soul.
And if I catch you sleeping along the west
and gave you alone my secret way.
But I bind your heart unto me very slow.

I don't believe I've seen
a woman like you anywhere.
And I must admit that I can't see
to making you into a dream.
And if I had a magical wonder word,
I send a dove to catch your love
and I send a blackbird to steal your heart.
